If you’re having severe back problems, your physician may recommend surgery. At Southcoast Health, we offer surgical procedures to help with your back pain. One of the procedures our surgeons offer to our patients is image guided surgery (IGS) with the innovative 7D Surgical System that is radiation free.
What is the 7D Surgical System?
The 7D Surgical Machine-vision Image Guided Surgery technology (MvIGS) for spinal procedures guides the surgeon with a highly detailed three-dimensional image taken in just four seconds. This replaces a radiographic image taken intermittently during traditional robotic surgery (fluoroscopy). The image created by the system is matched up digitally with the patient’s existing pre-operative scan to create a seamless, real time image of the patient’s anatomy.
Southcoast Health is a not-for-profit, charitable, community-based health system with multiple access points, offering an integrated continuum of health services throughout southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
